THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 563 kcal and 48.8 g fat per 100 g, so portions can provide substantial energy.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause severe reactions; the Virginia type carries the same allergen concern as other peanuts.
  • Whole nuts and nut pieces are choking hazards for young children; follow age-appropriate preparation guidance.
  • Cultivar, growing conditions and whether the kernels include skins can affect values, so a specific package label supersedes this generic profile.
